Boy this sounds great I wish I had time to come for it. We have hogs here but I can’t even find time or know how to hunt them.

You might see about getting the TN wildlife folks to organize a similar presentation in your neck of the woods. Hunting the wild hogs you guys have there (some descendants of the true, original European wild boar) is a different ball of wax than hunting them here in CA.
From what I know, (I spent a good bit of time hunting across the border in NC) the majority of boar hunters tend to use dogs rather than spot and stalk or stand hunting techniques. This makes the dog hunters more successful, but tends to make life a lot harder for hunters who don’t have dogs.
Best way to learn, though, is to get out there and try.
